OPPO Under-Screen Camera: hide and shoot By Joshua Vergara

It's, just that you know especially outside of Asian, a lot of people don't even know what it means. Even today, someone was asking when you go into the US, and they're all like he's hard yeah. That's true! It's obvious that this is a very exciting new form of tech. It's a way of mitigating a couple of problems. We've had with phones up until now the notch everything about the notch. We identify one big layering problem that, so that was my question.

Like did you particularly hate notches, and then you can compare all sorts of pop up, so I can see. All pop I have literally turned off notches on phones, where I can turn them off. I would rather live with a bezel than with a notch, and this is also why I specifically love pop-up selfie phones. Yes, so now what we have is not a little shark fin, not a little pop-up I still think the find X pop-up was like it was favorite yeah. That was awesome in any case like what I was trying to do is just eliminate all of that altogether.

So there's a tiny little area at the top. It's a little like square around. It's almost like a notch that it is, though I will say in my camera. I was able to figure out where I was and I was done, but it's like it entails a lot of maneuvering. It's something that you see because we know about it.

Yeah, but see you're like looking for it to someone who just saw the phone they're gonna, use it, and they're gonna even forget that that's where the camera is at sure- and you know, do the normal user- they're not gonna, think about it. But it's such a tiny thing that makes everything like all the more seamless, yeah and I wish. There was a little more info as to exactly how that was achieved, but from the articles that I was reading when it was announced at MWC Shanghai, it's basically there's a tiny area at the top that was made as transparent as possible without losing a layer that allows for the screen to render still yeah. So in most cases, it's still going to show the screen yeah and then contextually that tiny little part, which is probably the best way for me to put it, it might be a tiny little secondary display, gets deactivated accordingly, yeah and I. Remember if I'm not mistaken, that I read an article once before and when asked about like the quality they sort of like sugar, it off saying, of course, if there's going to be a screen, tiny little layer, the quality would not be, as would not be at Paris, a camera that didn't have that tiny layer.

Yeah, does that? Does that worry you not really, because you have to remember. We live at the time when it's all okay. Let me rephrase it's only now that people are starting to prioritize selfie cameras like up until, like last year, we've had like cameras with crappy front face, like phones with crappy front-facing cameras right, we tried it out. It didn't look that bad, so it's like, and at the end of the day, what this is really is a proof of concept right, so this doesn't mean that this is the final and I think to your question. I think: that's why they didn't they haven't without that much patience, because it's a proof of concept like opal likes doing this, remember the zoom, and I'm WC years back, and when do we actually feed the zoom right? So it's a proof of concept, they're saying we can do it and I think that ties into all the things that we've heard opal talk about today.

They talk about the innovation, they talk about their technology, they talk about being more than a smartphone maker and well. This is basically telling the world that look. We can innovate, it's not necessarily something we're putting out right now and even at the keynote they mentioned, that they don't necessarily want to be first, but this is sort of like a brand, a brand that bragging rights yeah and that was literally stolen to show it WC shame they did they. If the camera software is able to do some algorithmic processing, perhaps to do like an automatic, D haze or something like that, but it might not matter so much that the quality is going to be a bit under because it's literally under a layer, a semi-transparent layer, so I guess first off the quality. Isn't that bad anyway? At this point, because also, if you think about it, what do we use? Selfie cameras for these aren't cameras that go on like these aren't photos have gone like albums.

These are like Instagram story. They that's what this camera is not everyone's like me, vlogging with it yeah exactly you're like a very rare breed. So that's one two again we saw the quality. It's not that bad three I, don't doubt that software can fix this because then again you have like Google yeah with like just who lived on like just which lived on just one camera for like years and still are the best photos, but I guess. The question now is: if they can do it and what they will actually do, yeah like, and we haven't seen many others I think this is like the only USC that we've seen so far, yeah I, don't think we have seen it yeah Oh pose a pose, really keeping it close to the chest.

They want anybody knowing what's going on. We don't even know why camera we don't even know what cameras are there? Phone yeah like the cameras are on. It was a weird prototype thing, and it was sleek. Looking yeah, it looks like a Reno it without the selfie and without yeah, without buttons yeah, which is weird I just had that haptic engine, but if I think this is an awesome thing like even more than the pop-up and people know how crazy well I'm just happy that, because, with the pop-up camera, you eliminate the ability to put clip-on lenses. Hmm, you can't really put any weight but load-bearing things on there.

So now with even with this, the USC I can put my usual clip-on on the front and get that wide angle. Get that soon. All of that so I'm actually kind of excited because of that it actually alleviates that problem for me, but yeah selfie, taking with good selfie taking with full screen display. That's that's your dream right. Yes, I, just I'm excited for it.

That's that's all I can say it's like I made the beeline for it. As you know who, and lo and behold, I am excited even more all right. Well, you finished her tee, but why don't we try really like the speech yeah? Well, there you go, cheers cheers Cheers! Thank you for that. Babe.
